Well, I didn't make the video, so no offense taken.

This rocked me so hard.

I am guessing that the negative votes and comments that this video received means that the video crossed over the line from "This is interesting/terrible/disturbing/true/whatever" territory into "No one should see this" territory. That is fascinating to me. It is also a bit confusing.

Should I go ahead and discard now?

All kids should read the book, and then watch the movie.

I loved this video...until the end. Then I was sad...

From the Four Yorshiremen W-Pedia article:

"The sketch was originally written for the British television comedy series At Last the 1948 Show, and was co-written by the show's four writer-performers: John Cleese, Graham Chapman, Tim Brooke-Taylor, and Marty Feldman. The original performance of the sketch by the four creators is one of the surviving sketches from the program and can be seen on the At Last the 1948 Show DVD ... As a result of the numerous Python performances, and the comparative obscurity of At Last The 1948 Show, the "Four Yorkshiremen" sketch is widely and incorrectly considered to be a Monty Python's Flying Circus sketch."

Since the only Elliot Smith tune I have heard previous to this one was "Needle In The Hay", from it's use in "The Royal Tennebaums", I was surprised by this song. I guess I assumed all of his music would sound more like that song than this one.

BRM:

The website he is refering to is linked by Krupo just above you.

From the video description: "Short film on Richard Feynman's famous quip about fundamental physics as seen via quantum mechanics. Touches upon Einstein's E=MC2, Newton's law of gravity and the motion of planets, and the future of science."

Anyone know where that opening bit of animation comes from?

you suck, farhad ;-)

yeah, i admit i hate that stupid little watermark too. someone should create a little 'remove ebaums watermark' program that you could run over batches of video to purge them of this annoyance.
